When My Petting Zoo in North Scottsdale realized their female sheep had given birth, they were initially confused as to how she became pregnant in the first place. The petting zoo has no male sheep, but does have a male pygmy goat. That's when it clicked for owner Priscilla Motola.

Butterfly is unusually healthy for a geep, which normally don't survive in the womb. She has the face and feet of a baby goat, but the wool of a sheep.

This is the second geep to gain attention this year. Another of the hybrid species was born in April on an Irish farm.
